The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

So what if I lose face? Getting the money is the bottom line.

I don’t know where these people’s sense of superiority comes from. Whenever they encounter problems, they are useless and only know how to speak up for their own interests.

"snort--!!!"

Bai Pu couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this. He could never count on these people, as they were all competing to be worse.

Fortunately, Minister Tim is a real person and with him in control, the situation is generally under control.

With his temper, there is no way he could sit down and communicate with them properly. He would be so angry that he almost died.

None of these people are qualified, they are all greedy people who put profit above all else.

People rush to do things that are beneficial, but stay away from things that are risky and run away faster than anyone else.

But I have to pretend to be upright and find a bunch of reasons to refuse.

It seems as if no one can see the dark thoughts in their hearts.

Baipu felt annoyed when he saw the faces of some ministers. Even if he tried his best to control his expression, he would still lose control of it after a while.

He always felt that these people were challenging his bottom line, and sometimes he really couldn't help it and just got furious.

You really can't blame him!

"..."

The ministers kept silent when they saw Baipu's expression change. The funniest thing was that some people were talking enthusiastically when they suddenly stopped talking, and their expressions were really funny.

However, they were already used to this kind of sarcasm and quickly adjusted their expressions, looking at Minister Tim as if nothing had happened.

——That's great, very natural, no problem at all. As long as they don't feel embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!

Baipu was speechless again. But his purpose was not to change these people. If they could be changed, they would have been changed long ago, and he would not have to work so hard!

He knows that his actions are unacceptable to many people, and this is inevitable. You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and these ministers are just "pretending to be asleep", and they will never change in essence.

All he could do was to restrain and deter them. If no one really took care of them, they would become even more lawless and do whatever they wanted, which would lead to even more chaos.

"Ahem, Lord Baipu is right. My idea is to raise some money from those small countries. No matter how much we can raise, it will add up to a considerable amount."

"Those small countries won't have too many complaints. They are so happy that they can't wait to get on the bandwagon of the United States. We can also give them some small benefits in the future."

"But this is not the point. We can talk to the West Asian country. They have always coveted our part of the territory in the Sibee Islands. Don't they always want to take it back?"

"We can tell them that there is a chance to redeem that part of the territory, as long as they are willing to borrow money. After all, they spend a lot of money every year to maintain that sea area."

Minister Tim proposed a plan that no one expected. The Sibee Islands are rich in resources, so how could they give up so easily?

"No, no, the value of the Sibee Islands is far more than this. Even if we sell it at a high price, it's not worth it. We absolutely cannot sell it!"

"This is ridiculous. Everyone knows the importance of the Sibee Islands. How can we use it for trading? This is absolutely impossible!"

"Unless we can get other similar sea areas, we want to buy back the rest. How can we sell them?"

"This method won't work. Don't even think about it. There's no room for negotiation. We can never give up that priceless territory."

"Have we fallen to this point? We might as well add more money. This plan is totally unfeasible and no one will agree to it!"

There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone frowned, unable to believe that Minister Tim would come up with such a plan. It seemed like a joke.

No one would propose to exchange territory. Even a fool would know that the value is totally unequal.

If they could buy the land with money, they would have bought back the rest long ago. In fact, the other party would not sell it at all. There is no country willing to sell territory now.

At most, they can rent it, but only when it is beneficial to them. For example, some countries will rent land to brands to build processing plants, which can boost the local economy and is a very cost-effective thing.

But the situation in the sea is completely different. Which country does not value the rich resources on the seabed? They would rather spend more money than give up this area.

Baip has not yet expressed his opinion. He does not think that Minister Tim will do anything that will harm the interests of the United States. He must have his own unique ideas, but these ministers just didn't think of them.

Some things cannot be judged by appearances alone. Existence is reasonable. Only Minister Tim knows what he is thinking.

"Hahaha--!!!"

Minister Tim did not get angry at these rebuttals, but laughed. He had expected these people's reactions, and they turned out to be just as he thought.

He even completely predicted what these people would say, and he was not disappointed, it was exactly the same.

Everyone looked confused and looked at each other, wondering if Minister Tim was under too much pressure and was a little mentally ill, and the plan he proposed was too outrageous.

Under other circumstances, they would certainly not have directly refuted it, but this time when it came to the Sibee Islands, no one was willing to compromise.

Their words were very tactful. If they had proposed this plan, they would probably have been scolded and humiliated, and would not have been able to stay in the meeting.

Minister Tim saw their expressions and couldn't help curling his lips. He admired these people's imagination. How could they think so much about this, but be speechless when it came to making suggestions?

Of course, there are also some people who are very smart and have ideas but don't say anything. Because of various risks, they simply pretend not to know and are afraid of being assigned tasks, so they don't want to do anything at all.

If you really make a suggestion, you may have to bear a lot of responsibility if it fails. But if you say nothing, everyone will face the consequences together, and if everyone shares a little, it won't be so serious.

I'm afraid many people have this idea, and it's inevitable. He himself sometimes doesn't say all his thoughts.

However, not wanting to say anything is also a big problem. The headquarters is very prominent in this regard, and it will definitely make targeted improvements in the future.

Minister Tim put aside those distracting thoughts and explained seriously:

"We just spread the word that we are going to sell the Sibee Islands. You can treat it as fake news. Don't you understand?"

"How could we really sell the Sibee Islands? The other party is not a fool, but for this possibility, they will still take action." "You also know how much the West Asian government wants to redeem those islands. They will not miss any opportunity. There is no such opportunity under normal circumstances!"

"Is this...really possible? It sounds good, but the people of West Asia are not pushovers. How could they be easily fooled?"

A minister couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, expressing the thoughts of others. When everyone first heard it, they thought it was outrageous and couldn't believe it could work.

Is it really that simple? Everyone knows that the ownership of the islands is a treasure, and the West Asian countries are not fools, so will they not understand?

Besides, the US headquarters needs a lot of money, at least tens of billions, and it may not be returned in a short time. Everyone knows that this is not a cost-effective deal.

"No, you are wrong. They will. Sooner or later, the news that the United States is in trouble will spread. By then, we will be too busy launching satellites to deal with other forces. In that case, they will not doubt our determination."

"In fact, the worse the situation is, the more we have no other choice but to take a risk. This is the only solution for both countries."

"We need a lot of money to move around, they need full ownership of the Sibee Islands, and this is the right deal for both parties."

"If we grasp this point, we don't have to worry about them not taking the bait. Even if we do give them some power, we can always withdraw our promise. Isn't it just a matter of saying a word?"

"Only the funds are real. Once we get them, we can say whatever we want. Even if they don't recognize the agreement, what can they do? Do they dare to send troops directly?"

Minister Tim said this with a smile on his face, but that smile made people feel uneasy and unable to say a word.

"..."

Everyone was silent, thinking carefully about what Minister Tim said, and found that it was indeed correct and even more reasonable than they had imagined.

Yes, from this perspective, the other party will definitely not miss this opportunity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In the past, the US headquarters would simply ignore them and always ignore their requests for territorial negotiations and would not respond at all.

Now that the United States has taken the initiative to bring up this matter, it is like pie in the sky for them. Even if they know there are pitfalls, can they let go of this opportunity?

However, if this opportunity is missed, there will be no more opportunities for territorial transactions. It will be too late for West Asia to regret it by then.

No one doubts that the weakness of the United States is only temporary and will not affect its status. Therefore, this is probably their closest chance to success.

The ministers suddenly felt a burning sensation on their faces. How resolute they had been before, how embarrassed they were now, and it felt like their faces were swollen.

They felt a little regretful. If they had known earlier, they would not have rushed to express their opinions and should have waited for Minister Tim to finish his words. Aren't there enough lessons like this?
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on them, it is really that the surprises each time are too big. If it were a normal situation, they would not react like this.

Everyone knows the truth, but how many people can really control their emotions? The most calm person on the field should be President Baip.

"Good, very good! Let's follow this plan and do it simultaneously with adding more money!"

Baipu was the first to applaud, and his applause was so loud that the entire conference room was filled with his applause.

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then followed suit, expressing their support for Minister Tim's proposal with the warmest applause.

Of course, not everyone has figured it out, and some ministers are still skeptical. They have a lot of thoughts in their minds, but they pretend to be calm and behave like everyone else.

They didn't want to cause any more trouble. If they objected at this time, they would probably be scolded by Baip.

The opinions of a minority of people are useless anyway, the overall situation has been decided. If Minister Baip and Minister Tim decide on something at the same time, it is useless for others to strongly oppose it.

Moreover, they have a lot of supporters, and they basically account for more than half of the votes, which basically determines the outcome of the meeting.

Ordinary ministers do not have a veto power, on the contrary, their opinions may be directly rejected. So, they just go with the flow and applaud whatever others say.

This way there will definitely be no mistakes, and if something bad happens later, they don’t need to take too much responsibility, at most they will just be criticized a few times.

"Minister Tim is really wise. Our previous thoughts were too superficial. I apologize for my previous ignorance. I will never express my opinions impulsively next time!"

The minister, who had been firmly opposed just now, now looked very unhappy and tried to please with a smile on his face, even at the cost of devaluing himself, fearing that Minister Tim would have a grudge against him for what had happened just now.

Although Minister Tim and Baip have different personalities, who can truly be free of grudges when facing opponents?

Once he took the lead, other ministers followed suit, vying to flatter him, fearing that they would be put on the "blacklist", and they all tried their best to flatter him.

"Yes, not everyone can reach the level of Minister Tim, of course, except President Baip. We are so lucky to have you two here!"

"That's right. Minister Tim and President Baip are the smartest people in our headquarters. There is nothing they can't think of. Every time I think about it carefully, I find that their suggestions are really brilliant!"

"How can a person with insufficient intelligence understand the brilliant ideas of the two adults? How can such a good method not be used? Who can come up with a better idea?"

"Who can come up with a better solution? If there is one, they would have proposed it long ago. This shows how smart the two adults are!"

Everyone's attitude changed drastically, and they used the most gorgeous words to describe Minister Tim, and they did not forget to mention Baip, and they both praised him to the skies.

They were almost labeled as the smartest people in the world. Although it was hypocritical, these words really made the two of them very happy.

Who doesn't like to hear flattery? It's comfortable to listen to. Bai Pu especially likes to hear this, enjoying the feeling of being admired by everyone.

Seeing that the meeting was about to turn into a flattery meeting, Minister Tim stepped in in time to stop it:

"It's getting late, so let's end today's meeting here. I will convey some of the content to the relevant departments and arrange for them to carry out satellite launch and subsequent research and development work as soon as possible."

Although Baipu was not very satisfied with the ending, he also knew what was most important and there was really no time to drag it on.

"That's it for now. If you have any good suggestions, feel free to talk to us. During this time, everyone should try to stay at the headquarters so that it will be convenient to communicate ideas. Meeting adjourned!"

Bai Pu made a final summary. He didn't expect these people to have any ideas. Now they are silent, what ideas can they have in the future?

Of course, these are just polite words. Now I am trapped in the headquarters and there is nothing to do. I might as well think of more solutions when I have time.

Some methods that sound outrageous may actually be good ones. There are risks, but for them, it is worth a try. (End of this chapter)
